The eight step meditations for aura cleansing are as follows:

Close your eyes and take several deep breaths to help you concentrate.

Feel the energy deep inside of you; imagine it growing with every breath you take until it fills you up from your toes to the crown of your head.

Focus on your breath, hear your heart beating and feel the ground beneath your feet, and begin to breathe from your stomach. Place your hands on your stomach and feel it rise and fall as you breathe.

Relax your stomach and let any tension flow out and down your legs, and into the earth. Become centred in your body, feel your legs, your lower body open and send all the tension you carry downwards and to the floor. Stay doing this for a while until you really feel that you are in a place of stillness.

Bring your awareness to your heart. Visualize it – is it closed or open? Is it small or large? What colour is it? Breathe into your heart and imagine the colours getting stronger, expanding in size and it opening. It is radiating love, like sunbeams.

Imagine that the sunbeams radiating out of your heart are stretching out of your body and filling your body with love and light.

When you are ready, let all the images dissolve slowly and come back into your space of love. Bring yourself back into your body, breathing slowly. Feel your arms, your legs, your feet in your shoes, feel that you are here, in your physical body, connected to the ground.

When you are ready, open your eyes.

The higher your vibration, the more powerful your energy healing will be. Aura cleansing clears your mind and space, even the simple act of peaceful breathing, will bring more flow and energy into your life!

One core process, which can be influenced by yoga practice, is our ability to observe our thoughts emotions and sensations without reacting to fix them, hide them or solve them. This awareness creates room for choice between impulse and our action.

the wider world.

Ancient yogis understood yoga as a complete lifestyle and world view that can help you to discover who you are as well as your relationship to the world and nature and as such can provide valuable insights into addressing environmental challenges and promoting peace in the individual, peace in communities and peace in the world. The sages of India understood that the outer can change by changing the inner, that the nature of our consciousness therefore affects the nature of our environment.

Yoga originated in the Indus Valley Civilization. Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras are widely regarded as the first compilation of the formal yoga philosophy. The Guru Granth Sahib states:

Listen “O Yogi, Nanak tells nothing but the truth. You must discipline your mind. The devotee must meditate on the Word Divine. It is His grace which brings about the union. He understands, he also sees. Good deeds help one merge into Divination.”

Yoga is an ancient art based on a harmonizing system of development for the body, mind, and spirit. The continued practice of yoga will lead you to a sense of peace and well-being, and also a feeling of being at one with their environment. Serving others is part of yoga and can give meaning to your life.
